Suspending Kyrie Irving did not rid the Nets of controversy and external anger.

Outside Barclays Center before the Nets hosted the Knicks on Wednesday night were several dozen members of a Black Hebrew Israelite group based in The Bronx, peacefully protesting Irving’s suspension.

“We’re expressing our support of Kyrie Irving and his stance in terms of him knowing who he is,” Deacon Eythan of Israel United in Christ said, before defending Irving’s conduct in the same way the Nets star did. “Kyrie Irving himself understands that not only are we Semitic ourselves, but it is contradictory and hypocritical to say that someone is anti-Semitic when they are Semitic.”
